New Delhi: Manoj Bajpayee said he hasn't had dinner in more than ten years. The actor recently revealed that he had given up eating dinner every day in order to improve his health, and that his decision had been fruitful.

In a recent interview with Curly Tales, Manoj Bajpayee explained his choice to completely forgo eating dinner each day and how he was motivated to do so by his own grandfather.

When questioned how long the actor had skipped dinner, Manoj responded, "13-14 saal ho gaye. I realized ki yaar ki mere grandfather bahut duble patle the... Aur bahut hi fit rehte the hamesha, toh I thought let me follow what he used to eat. Fir woh shuru jab maine kiya then mera wazan jo he control hona shuru hua. Mein kaafi energetic bhi feel kara aur kaafi healthy feel karna shuru kar diya. Then that was the time I decided that I will stick with this. Phir usme tweaking ye ki maine... fasting kabhi 12 ghante ka 14 ghante ka... raat ka dinner maine dheere dheere hatana shuru kiya.... After lunch, the kitchen is non-operational. It only operates when our daughter is back from hostel (It has been 13-14 years. I saw how my grandfather had a thin frame and was always fit. So I followed him and started to eat which helped me loose weight. I also felt a lot more healthy. I used to tweak it by fasting for 12 hours to 14 hours and slowly, I got rid of having dinner completely)."

Manoj said it was quite challenging to keep up this schedule at first. To quench his hunger, he used to consume large amounts of water and an assortment of nutritious biscuits. 

The trailer for the courtroom drama 'Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai', in which Manoj Bajpayee will next be seen, came out a few days ago. Manoj plays a lawyer who decides to take on a ruthless godman in the drama. He seeks to bring justice to a child who was abused by the godman. The film premiers on ZEE5 on May 23.
